    What Are Bowls Made From.

    What are bowls made from? I thought they were made from wood but this one looks like it some sort of plastic.

    And yet another Sirocco

    One of the first color combinations I came up with was a blue/green/white mix that my wife dubbed "Satellite" because she thought it kind of looks like the colors you'd see from space.

I have started a new thread as I thought it may be of interest and someone may miss an older post. Today I have had a delivery of some Fancy Slimline Touch Stylus pen kits in...
